Chapter 668: The Owner of the Homestay
"No!"
Ji Weitian anxiously interrupted him, denying it without a second thought.
"We didn’t do anything; you had a fever and were dreaming the whole time. I couldn’t find any fever medicine, so I stayed in the room to take care of you. It’s getting late; I’ll go pack up my things first, and we can talk everything over on the road!"
Ji Weitian desperately wanted to run away, but Qin Nanyu didn’t let go of her hand.
He pulled her back forcefully, unbuttoned the first two buttons of his shirt, pointed to the marks on his chest, and asked her,
"Can you explain to me first who scratched this?"
Ji Weitian: "..."!!!
She stared intensely at his chest, her neck, ears, and cheeks gradually turning bright red.
Her cheeks were burning as if they were about to catch fire.
"I, I don’t know, I went to sleep early last night and don’t remember anything."
She violently withdrew her hand and took several steps back, keeping her distance from him.
Originally, Qin Nanyu was not entirely sure, but now seeing her reaction, all his doubts were confirmed.
He stepped forward, wanting to say something, when suddenly, the sound of a car horn came from outside the door.
He turned around and saw a white SUV parked outside the hostel.
The car window rolled down, revealing a clean but cold face, dressed in a neutral style that made it momentarily hard to tell whether the person inside was male or female.
As surprised as they were to see someone outside the courtyard, the person who parked the car outside the gate was equally shocked to see people inside.
The three of them looked at each other from a distance that was neither too close nor too far.
Ji Weitian, unconcerned about avoiding suspicion, poked Qin Nanyu’s arm, "Do you recognize the person outside?"
As she spoke, she glanced once more at the person getting out of the car.
Short neat hair and an unpainted face that wasn’t strikingly beautiful but was comforting to look at.
It was only when she stepped onto the ground that Ji Weitian noticed the woman was wearing a long white dress paired with a black leather jacket, which made her look somewhat androgynous from the waist up alone.
But looking at her entire outfit, it was still easy to tell that the person who suddenly appeared before them was a girl.
"Who are you people, and why are you at my house?"
Zhang Lingying pushed open the gate, walked in, and asked directly.
Hearing this, Qin Nanyu and Ji Weitian exchanged glances, seeing the same light in each other’s eyes.
Ji Weitian stepped forward and explained proactively.
"My name is Ji Weitian, and this is Qin Nanyu. We came here looking for someone but got caught in a storm on our way, and our car broke down. We had no choice but to stay here overnight. We’re very sorry for not getting your permission first and using your house. If we have caused any inconvenience, we are willing to compensate. May I be so bold as to ask your name?"
"Zhang Lingying." The girl, after hearing her explanation, dropped these three words and passed by them, going straight into the hostel.
After checking from the ground floor to upstairs, making sure Qin Nanyu and Ji Weitian had only used one guest room and that almost nothing else was touched, she returned to the living room.
Qin Nanyu and Ji Weitian stood there in the living room.
They had entered someone else’s house without the owner’s permission, and they were in the wrong.
It was good that the owner of the house came back at this time, so everyone could explain things face to face and ask if she needed any compensation.
